Presently 142.0.1 (64-bit) installed; previous updates/downloads had no problems.

Now, however, going to https://www.firefox.com/en-US/?utm_campaign=SET_DEFAULT_BROWSER and attempt a download results in this (image).

Any solution to this?

Thank you.

Desktop Firefox 142.0.1 (aarch64) iPhone 11, iOS 18.5, Firefox 144.1 (62735)

I just reinstalled the desktop which needs the mobile phone's bookmarks. If I wipe the phone bookmarks, I lose everything. Backup, how on the phone? Sync, how? The Firefox Bookmarks Sync isn't an exact science and a misstep could be catastrophic!

Here's what I'm looking at on the desktop and the phone, attached. 1. Desktop Firefox Bookmarks Sync window show a 3 horizontal lines (hamburger icon) for iOS Firefox settings. 2. Phone Firefox has 3 horizontal dots (meatballs icon) for iOS Firefox 3. Phone Firefox has my Firefox account logged in and a Settings option, but which one (I choose Settings 4. Phone Firefox Settings shows my ACCOUNT and a Sync Now option, but which one (I don't want the phone to Sync and pull no data from the desktop and wipe the phone Bookmarks (no backups)).

Since the FireFox Desktop update over a month ago (and subsequent patches, currently on Version 142.0.1 (64-bit)), every time I type an email using AOL webmail in the FireFox browser using my Windows 10 Dell desktop, I can only type a few characters before the cursor jumps off the line I am typing and I have to use the mouse to reclick where it stopped typing to again try to retype. This can happen multiple times sometimes as a short as typing only one character before the cursor jumps and I cannot further type. It has now become soooo annoying that I am thinking of changing browers after having using FireFox for as long as I can remember. This does NOT occur when using any other browser, including Edge and Chrome, so it is not to AOL webmail app but rather something in FireFox.

Has anyone else reported the same? Can anything be done to fix this problem before I jump ship to Edge or Chrome on a permanent basis?

I was customizing my background by loading a picture. It's adult in nature. It should be my computer in my in my private home. When something amazing started happening. If I load ANY image with a naked woman on it After a few minutes Fire fox auto removes it. I have done this 30 times. I use ANY fire fox picture it's fine stays there forever. Load ANY picture with a naked woman on it and poof 2 minutes later it's gone. So please can you explain to me why whats claimed to be the most private and secure browser around is censoring me in my own home about what backgrounds I can have? I find this highly disturbing. And I am quite serious I have had them removed at least 30 times. I'm 56 y/o If I want a naked woman on my background it should be my business not fire foxes. Also no chrome is not doing it. neither is windows. It's Firefox removing them. Any explanation would be nice.

I've had increasing issues with Firefox performance over the past month or so. I kept hoping an update might fix things but it's getting to the point I need to use Chrome much of the time now. I read the help article for websites not opening with Firefox but opening with another browser and had already done most of the things: clearing data and cache. I don't know what proxy is but I looked at my Chrome settings and changed Firefox to match (automatically detect settings). Nothing has helped. Sometimes a site won't open and sometimes I get into a website and then a random page within the website won't open. I have only a few pages open at a time. It might have started at some point after adding Facebook container to the extensions. Other extensions are: Duck Duck Go, Malwarebytes, Google Analytics opt-out, Read Aloud and U-Block Origin. Any help appreciated. LC

When I close a video site tab, Firefox freezes and becomes unresponsive. After restarting Firefox from a force quit, I sometimes see a message like: “Bookmarks may not be visible or things may not look normal. Another instance of Firefox is running.” (I don’t remember the exact wording.) In that case, my bookmarks look like they are missing. If I close Firefox again and restart it, the bookmarks reappear, but I am logged out of every site and have to add all my accounts again from the beginning.

This means I have to log back into every single account again, like YouTube and others, which is very inconvenient.

I’ve been using Firefox for over 10 years, and I’ve never experienced this problem before. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it occurs periodically — sometimes every few days, sometimes every few weeks. This never used to happen in the past.

Please, I really need help with this issue. If I back up my cookies beforehand, would restoring them after such a crash bring everything back to normal?
